Kitts stood down on 7 July when it was announced there would be an investigation into his ride on Hillsin
An exclusion order issued to a jockey who was suspended over a controversial ride last year has been lifted.
Dylan Kitts remains suspended following his ride on Hillsin, who was third at Worcester in July 2023.
Stewards said the horse travelled strongly "without appearing to ever be asked for a finishing effort".
The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) said on Wednesday he had failed to co-operate with an investigation but lifted the order on Friday.
It said: "The BHA can today confirm that it is now in receipt of relevant information requested by the integrity team as part of an ongoing investigation involving Mr Dylan Kitts.
"As a result of this information being provided, the disciplinary officer exclusion order issued earlier this week, which was imposed after multiple previous deadlines had been missed, has been lifted.
"Mr Kitts remains suspended from race riding while the investigation continues."
Kitts voluntarily stood down on 7 July when it was announced there would be an investigation into his ride on the Chris Honour-trained Hillsin.
The horse, who finished a length-and-a-quarter third in a handicap hurdle, was banned from running for 40 days.
Kitts had been been issued with a disciplinary officer exclusion order which banned him from racecourses, stables and all licensed premises.
